"Crown and Veil offers a broad introduction to the history and visual culture of female monasticism in the Middle Ages, from
the earliest communities of Late Antiquity to the Reformation. Scholars from numerous disciplines offer a wide range of perspectives
not to be found in any other single book on the subject, placing the art, architecture, literature, liturgy, religious practices,
and economic foundations of these communities within a wide historical and cultural context." "Focusing on the visual culture
of female monastic communities in the German Empire, Frankish Gaul, Langobard Italy, and Anglo-Saxon England, this volume
underscores the richness of largely unfamiliar material and its role in shaping distinctive forms of religious life."--Jacket

"This lavishly illustrated publication sheds new light on Malevich's remarkable career, from his participation in the quest
for a new society to his confrontation with the Stalinist regime. Groundbreaking essays by prominent curators and art historians
explore every aspect of his output--from his early paintings of Russian landscapes, agricultural workers and religious scenes
to his dramatic step into abstraction and his much-debated return to figurative painting in later life. The artist's collaborative
involvement with architecture and design is investigated, as well as his temporary abandonment of painting in favour of teaching
and writing."--Back cover

"The Bronze Age is one of the most important periods in the prehistory of Europe. Beginning around the mid-3rd millennium
BC, its legacy can be found in spectacular monuments and artifacts across the continent, from Wessex in Britain to Knossos
and Mycenae in Greece, and Troy in Asia Minor, extending to Maikop in the Caucasus. It was an age that saw the spread of a
new technology - metallurgy - which was to have profound effects on the development of civilization in Europe. The use of
bronze for tools and weapons was accompanied by other great transformations, such as specialized craftsmanship, a rise in
exchange and trade, and increasing social stratification and political organization. Another innovation was the first appearance
of writing in Europe - the Bronze Age thus also witnessed the birth of European history." "Gods and Heroes of the European
Bronze Age is published to accompany a major exhibition that includes more than 250 of the finest objects from sites in twenty-three
European countries."--Jacket

Originally, Solomon R. Guggenheim donated works from his collection to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which he began
in 1937 to support and promote non-objective art. Then, in 1939, he established the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which
was renamed the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1952, and its signature Frank Lloyd Wright building opened on New York's Fifth
Avenue in 1959. Over time, the Guggenheim has expanded the type of art that it exhibits and collects through the addition
of other great collections - notably, those of Karl Nierendorf, Peggy Guggenheim, Justin and Hilde Thannhauser, and Giuseppe
Panza di Biumo - as well as through opportunities that resulted from the institution's increasingly international focus in
more recent decades. The Guggenheim today encompasses venues on two continents: the museum in New York, the Peggy Guggenheim
Collection in Venice, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin and the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum
in Las Vegas. This volume is published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Kunst-und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland, Bonn, and the Kunstmuseum Bonn. With its comprehensive presentation of masterworks from the Guggenheim's extended
holdings, it provides insight into Modern and Contemporary art movements - from Impressionism to Cubism, Surrealism to Abstract
Expressionism, Pop art and Minimalism to the most recent developments - and the distinctive features of the collection. The
selection emphasizes the Guggenheim's ongoing commitment to acquiring the work of particular artists in depth, including Vasily
Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Matthew Barney, among many others

Pontus Hulten, founder-director of the German Kunst-und Ausstellungshalle, marks out a broad field for Modernism in an unconventional
way in this volume, and calls it Terrirorium Artis. He launches a broad span from Rodin to contemporary artists, without putting
the personality of the artist in the centre, or dealing with trends, styles and developments. Instead he directs his attention
towards pioneering individual works that were violently rejected by critics at the time they originated as not having anything
to do with art, but later turned out to have been the works that had the greatest intellectual and spiritual explosive force

"The New York art scene of the 1980s is legendary - vital, creative and multimedia-based. It provided young talent with a
playground full of opportunities. Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente are three of the main protagonists
of this era. Between 1983 and 1985, they produced a number of collaborative works, whose appeal was based on their contrary
painterly gestures. The works reflect the era, the (pop) star role and the new way in which the artists saw themselves, their
mutual fascination but also the dark side of fame. This catalogue provides a comprehensive look at the collaboration between
the three artists in the context of their own work and shows the captivating references and differences, the multifaceted
nature of the collaboration and its art-historical importance."--Publisher's description
